Let me first start with how picky I am (and nervous) on who I let do my hair. I just moved to the…read morearea and had a very difficult time picking a salon. After reading a bunch of reviews I decided to go with Salon Allure & boy am I glad I did. The service is 10/10! Amanda and Patty both did a fabulous job at making me feel welcome and comfortable. They were so friendly and we chatted the hours away, it felt like I was in and out of there! I also wasn't sure on what exactly I wanted to do. I talked to Amanda about what I didn't like about my current hair and she did a perfect job on fixing everything! We ended up going with lowlights and it came out beautiful. I absolutely love it! She also took her time which is always nice rather than someone rushing through because there are more clients. I highly recommend this place and will 100% be back!!!!!

I am in a female vocal singing group and we had a photo shoot recently where we had to recreate hairstyles from 3 different decades in 1 day. I met with Brenda before the day of the shoot and we went through photos and talked about the look we were going for. When the big day came, she took such amazing care of us! Each hairstyle was truly authentic (finger waves, anyone??) and really matched each of our personal styles. Brenda is so sweet and easy to communicate with, and her studio is a quiet oasis perfect for collecting yourself before a stressful big event! I can not recommend Brenda & her studio enough. Thank you a million times and we will be back!!

As someone with thin, baby fine hair that grows very slowly, it's always daunting to find a new…read morehairstylist when we move to a new city. Many times the stylist doesn't actually listen to me that I can't really do layers, I pretty much need a blunt cut. And then it will take nearly a year to grow out the bad cut. Not so with Brenda! She also has slightly fine, thin hair so she can relate completely. Not only did she listen to my needs for my haircut, she even recommended leaving just a bit more length than I was initially thinking. I like the resulting look, and if I hadn't, I appreciate erring on the side of caution, since it's much easier to cut more than to slowly grow out. She also had tips for where to part my hair and styling tips to help prevent breakage. Brenda was also nice enough to work me in for a same day appointment on very short notice. I'm so relieved to find a good, reliable stylist for Williamsburg!

I just couldn't find anyone who could give me a haircut where people stopped me when I was out and asked me who cut my hair (The first time was after a cut from Harrod's in England. The next was years later from Lorrie, my longtime stylist who moved, and the last was from my niece, Shannon, in GA). Considering I am almost 69 years old, that is not a good track record! My first haircut at Shear Creations was with Jenny in September 2017. I asked her if she could do something to help round out my hair in the back (camouflage my flat head). She gave me a superb cut - and yes, I was stopped more than once and asked where I went to get my hair styled​! I was completely carefree on my trip to Italy, and since then I have enjoyed professional, very affordable, consistent cuts from her that last. I am going back on Thursday - I look forward to the great atmosphere in the shop, to her dynamic personality, and to another stranger-stopping haircut!

I wish I could give a good review, but Jon gave me one of the worst coloring jobs in my life. He…read moredid the opposite of what I asked for. He must have been having a bad day, too, because he was remarkably rude and bossy. Why I didn't walk out, I don't know. He liked to talk a lot about what a great hairdresser he is, so I guess I was just hoping it was true despite all the red flags. From my unfortunate experience, I would recommend staying away from him if you want to get your hair colored. I'm sorry to give a negative review. I really don't like doing it, but I am being honest.

I found my new stylist…read more Despite having one bad review, I took a chance on Jon as I needed a cut on short notice. I contacted him on the number listed on Yelp! And was surprised when he could get me in almost immediately. Why? It was his birthday and he most graciously offered to cut hair for a new customer. The address was easy to find but his shop is inside Shear Magic so don't look for Jon's name on a sign out front. Simply enter Shear Magic and ask for Jon. Ample parking is available as the salon is located in the New Town area. The shop where several other independent stylists work was clean, modern and everyone was quite friendly. After getting to know me a bit and discussing what I expected in a cut, he set to work and accomplished exactly what I was looking for. No need for adjustments which is great for a first time visit. Jon was very personable and wanted to get to know me as a client. After the cut, I had a shampoo and a rinse for $40. The entire process took nearly 50 minutes. Areas of improvement: Personally, I enjoy a scalp massage, hot towel and hand massages while I get my hair styled but that was not part of this experience. Certainly not a show stopper but that's what I look for in a salon. In short, Whether a local resident or just passing by, if you are looking for a barber or stylist, I would definitely recommend Jon based upon this initial experience. If the shop were easier to find, and if the amenities were better (coffee, tea, flavored water, scalp massage, hot towel, etc.), I would have given 5 stars. He does get extra credit for customer service by cutting hair on his birthday however. Satisfied customer and I will most certainly return for my next cut.
